Hello! I have been reading this forum for a little while...but having never used a forum before, I was a little nervous about signing up. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong! I work full time but have picked face painting up as a hobby that could possibly bring in a little extra money...while allowing me to completely enjoy myself!

Hi,Welcome to the forum, I,m also a newbie here,Yep, I have to bribe my kids too, they now charge me one euro a face to paint them lol! They are earning a fortune! Hope your kiddies arent that expensive!

Welcome to the forums! I'm a newbie here too - both to the site and to facepainting - and it's a really friendly place.

I haven't had to start bribing my son yet, but my OH is sadly uncooperative. I think he's afraid it will affect his street cred. My thigh is currently covered in little flowers, as it makes a suitably large practice canvas...

Hope you have a lovely time here, and I hope to see more of your posts in future.
